Chapter 212 Li Chengxiu leaves
No matter how nonchalant Li Chengxiu's words were, Jiang Wan immediately understood what he meant.
"Didn't you just have a fight with them when we first came back? Why are you suddenly showing up again? Could it be related to my business?"
"Not necessarily. That Duan guy is used to being so unruly. Who knows what wicked ideas he might come up with next? You just stay home and take care of your baby. I'll take care of the dog-beating outside!"
I have to go to the military camp soon, so you have to take care of all the things at home. Now you are two people, so you can't work as hard as before. I will leave all our private soldiers here, and you can use whoever you want. If there is anyone in Dongling Mansion who dares to disobey, you can wait until I come back!"
With a strong effort, he picked up his wife and child. He sat on the chair, holding his wife and child in his arms, and the three of them hugged each other intimately.
Jiang Wan held his face with both hands. Although her expression was a little worried, she was also very determined.
"We once said to our father that the prince would guard the country's borders.
So I won't let my worry stop you from fulfilling your responsibilities. Go ahead, I'm here to keep things under control.
But you'd better bring all your soldiers and generals with you, so that I can rest assured."
"No, people have to stay to protect you and the child."
Li Chengxiu, who has been the best at obeying Jiang Wan since he was a child, always seems to be particularly strong when he is involved in a crisis.
"Don't worry about me, wife. Qiao and Wu are my cousins, and the soldiers in the barracks have been my comrades for many years. Even if they are not my personal soldiers now, I can still order them around."
He lowered his voice and leaned close to his wife's ear to reassure her, his words carrying a hint of dominance that Jiang Wan was not familiar with.
"You've never led an army, so you don't know. In the barracks, it's not just the military token that's useful, but also my face!"
Just as he finished showing off, the person in his arms covered his mouth.
"Li Laosi, are you afraid that we won't live in peace in the future? You dare to say anything? You'd better be as stupid as ever when you're out there and maintain your current persona!
You should know that Qiao Yuwu is not only your cousin, he is also the cousin of the prince. He is also a general sent by the court to garrison here! He has to watch not only the border, but also our Qi Wang Mansion. Do you know this? "
Li Chengxiu struggled out from under his wife's hands, looked at the pair of slightly annoyed eyes, which clearly showed him, and he immediately smiled with a smug look on his face.
"I know. Isn't this to reassure you? I've been around here for a few years, so there's definitely no danger.
But I can't rest easy without you. If Qiao and Wu hadn't just arrived and hadn't dealt with Dali before, I wouldn't have to make this trip.
Alas, my dear wife, I can’t bear to leave you.”
Seeing that her husband was still wise and did not make mistakes in important matters, Jiang Wan gradually relaxed her expression.
"Okay, I'm not going to run away from home, so why should you be reluctant to leave? Just think about it, isn't there an old saying that goes 'A short absence is better than a new marriage'? When you come back, maybe our relationship will be even better!"
"real?"
The love-brain was instantly coaxed into being intoxicated.
"I'll come back after a while. Can you really treat me more favorably?"
"That's right, the old saying is usually right, right?"
"That's for sure! Hehehe..."
As soon as his signature laugh came out, he stopped laughing immediately without his wife having to raise her hand to hit him.
The couple huddled together for a long time, and at night they shared the same bed and poured out their hearts. At dawn, Li Chengxiu stealthily got up from the bed, dressed, washed up, and then quietly returned to the bed.
In the dim morning light, he repeatedly traced his wife's face with his eyes, but he didn't dare touch her for fear of waking her. He stared at her belly with a loving look for several breaths before leaning down and giving his beloved a very light kiss.
"Wait until I come back."
The voice was as gentle as the kiss, and was blown away by the corner of the clothes as he stood up, opened the door and left, and was blown away by the breeze.
Jiang Wan opened his eyes and stared quietly at the ceiling of the bed in the not-so-bright room, feeling a little uncomfortable.
She had never considered herself a weak person, no matter in her past or present life. Now, perhaps because she was pregnant, she suddenly felt particularly reluctant to leave the father of her child.
But she knew that she couldn't stop Li Chengxiu, so she could only close her eyes and pretend to be asleep.
She reached out and touched her belly, where there was a brand new life, instantly connecting Jiang Wan and Li Chengxiu closely.
At this moment, I suddenly miss home.
I miss the woman who held me in her arms.
When it was light, she got dressed and washed up. Without even having breakfast, she sat down at the desk and started writing.
Then he sealed the pile of letters from home that were filled with handwriting one by one and called Hongzhu who was outside the door.
"Go call Wang Bao over here. I have something to tell him."
"yes."
Hongzhu has always been a man of action, so Wang Bao came over quickly and Jiang Wan handed him the letter he had just written.
"You're already familiar with the route to the capital, so this matter will be your responsibility from now on. Take the gifts I prepared to my mother and the others, and make sure to hand the letter home to my mother personally. By the way, don't come back from your trip to the capital for the time being. Listen to my instructions when the time comes."
"Yes, I will set off now!"
Wang Bao never questioned his master's arrangements. Even though he wasn't as highly valued by his master as Ma Fei and Cheng Zhuo, he knew what was going on.
After all, he had previously developed a very obvious relationship with Lu Guo, the rebellious maidservant who served the Second Young Lady. It was impossible for his master to fail to discover that he wanted to marry Lu Guo. The fact that Wang Bao wasn't kicked out outright was most likely due to his brother Wang Hu's influence with the Duke.
So this guy has to keep his tail between his legs now, and just treat himself as a carrier pigeon.
Wang Bao set off with his master's longing for his family, and Jiang Wan, having already vented all the little emotions in her heart, immediately ate a large bowl of breakfast. After eating and drinking to calm her heart, she thought it was time to get back to work.
But just as she was about to walk towards the study, she was tripped by her steady and capable personal secretary.
"Master, you are not the same as before. You should rest more."
The joy in Hongzhu's eyes couldn't be stopped, and she smiled as if she was pregnant.
"I have already asked Doctors Hu, Zhang, and Zhou, and they all said that it is not appropriate to mention the pregnancy to others. Children are very sensitive and need to be coaxed more.
Of course, our young master and young lady are definitely not of that kind, but master, how about we follow the local customs? When you are full, go lie down on the bed and let me read to you, how about that? "
